"Mongol" slipped by unnoticed as a 2007 Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Film, but is destined to be recognized by world audiences for its elegant storytelling, powerful performances, and detailed attention to aspects of Genghis Khan’s brutal life that might have been sugar-coated if they’d been given a Hollywood treatment.
Asano Tadanobu plays Termudjin, later known to the world as Genghis Khan, with a controlled intensity and underlying intelligence that is as poetic as it is transparent.
For anyone even slightly interested in Mongolian history or in the life of the man who would conquer a fifth of the Earth’s landmass, "Mongol" is a movie that demands repeated screenings.
Rated R. 126 mins.
